Ugh...I can't stand MM.  She looks the part and is a decent actress, but she's so blah in the role.  She comes off matronly? I guess, but Belle is also slutty and MM barely has chemistry with anyone.  I would have recast years ago.  I can tolerate BB a bit more because he does seems like he tries and I think I have much higher hopes for John/Marlena's affair baby than I do for Shawn-D.

@Liberty Citymoved the post over.  It was in the GH thread.

OH! Okay. Now I see. It was me who was lost. Now all found. 

I really like Martha in the role. To me she just seems to fit. Looks & seems like Marlena's daughter. If they brought her back I'd like to see her & EJ paired again. I don't know why but she & Shawn just don't seem to work anymore. Maybe too much cheating.

She was conceived on a conference room table.  Kidnapped and nearly sold on the black market by her own sister.  Ruined families..... I really wish she wasn't as boring as she is.

Should've named her Connie... in honour of the conference room, LOL! Connie Tabi! LOL

So I have actually thought about how dumb the name Belle is to me.  Not Isabella.  That's a pretty name, but I guess Days was really feeling Beauty and the Beast in 1993.  

I know that's not your point, but I think it's a silly name.  Along the lines of Tate.  I always want to call him Tator-Tot.  But, hey, his mother thought upgrading to Theresa from Jeannie was less dated so there's no taste there. 😂

Just had them with a cheeseburger.

Fair warning, y’all. Today was bad.

Typical Ron-Jamey crap that seemed like it was written by two dumb 10 year olds. Seriously, they’re a more toxic team than Frons/Phelps/Guza.

I literally have nothing to say about today. Even the Gabi stuff, which could have been good, was ruined by Connie and her part in it. 

And since Irna Phillips was mentioned again, somebody really ought to tell Jamey that Irna would’ve fired his ass faster than she fired Sarah Cunningham.

If Brady ends up back with Chloe, then they can always put Belle with Philip. They can put Shawn with Jada especially since Jada is basically languishing in her pairing with Rafe and Jada/Rafe are pretty boring to begin with.

I don't have a problem with the names Belle and Tate. At least they're unique. I do get why some people might have a problem with the name Tate though. Tate Black sounds kind of dumb in retrospect. Also I don't really have a problem with Theresa changing her name either because what woman her age is even still named Jeannie in this day and age? That's even dumber in my opinion. Also the names Jeannie Theresa flow pretty well together too so it's a nice bonus.

IMO they never should have sent Chloe away.

I thought her conception took place on a table in the Titan plane. They were in a conference room instead? I swear in my old age I think I'm losing it.

I have bigger problems with Belle as a character than her name for sure🤣  Belle just seems like a childish name, which was fine when she was a child, but is kind of silly for an adult.  I always assumed the show would transition back into calling her Isabella.  The show at least had the smarts to stop calling Shawn "Shawn-D" at some point.

Tate is at least a name that I have heard and is fairly trendy.  It just reminds me of tater tots like I said.  

I think Jeannie vs. Theresa is a pretty lateral name change.  They are both kind of outdated?  Although I don't know if Jeannie was even current in 1988.

They slept together on the Titan jet and on a conference room table at Titan.  Two separate events spread out over a few weeks.  I don't think Marlena ever specified where Belle was conceived. lol.  I think the conference room table just gets brought up more often because of Sami.

It's kind of like Carly & Sonny naming their daughter Donna in today's world. Names definitely change throughout time. I'd wager Theresa is more current than Jeannie in today's world, though.

Oh I see. I get it now. I had conflated the two boinks into one event. Those horny devils did the deed twice. Naturally Marlena would not know which was the crescendo.
